The Million Dog Mosaic

When my friend MaryAnn forwarded this information, she had already added her German shepherd, Julie. This seems like an easy and fun way to help a great cause:

“This year’s Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show included many touching and sad
Pedigree commercials. These commercials showed an adorable face behind
chain link in a shelter with the voice over “for every dog that gets
adopted, one doesn’t.” If that wasn’t enough to make me cry and want to run
to the closest shelter and adopt at least one more dog or donate money to
help shelter dogs the Pedigree mission for these commercials did.

“Pedigree has a web site, Dogsrule.com – All Things Dogs, to help shelter dogs
through donations (they raised $900,000 in 2007 and have a $1 million goal
for 2008). The site Dogsrule.com has several different components:
adoption, volunteers for shelters, donations for shelter dogs and dogsrule
products. But what is really different, easy and costs nothing is the
Million Dog Mosaic: this is a spot for all of us dog owners to upload our
dogs photo to be included into the million dog mosaic.

“Pedigree will make a $1 donation to the Pedigree Adoption Drive for every
dog photo that’s uploaded to the mosaic. Once your dogs photo is uploaded
they will send you a search code that you enter to see where your dogs photo
is in the mosaic – cool huh, and it’s a TREMENDOUS cause. Over 4 million
dogs enter a shelter every year and each one deserves a loving home. If you
can’t adopt a shelter dog take a minute and upload your dogs photo and help
a shelter dog have a better life!”
